Bush hasn't sold out anyone. Weinberg and Powell are right, in a sense. The suicide bombers are naive, brainwashed young people. The true evil lies in the people who formulate this policy and convince them to do this.
Powell is the Secretary of State. He does what the President tells him to do. The President's FIRST priority is the safety and security of the American people, as he has said numerous times. He is not in charge of Israeli policy, nor is Israel his first priority, and rightly so. Besides making sure that Iraq doesn't attack us, Bush also has about a thousand other things to consider, including the reaction of allies, military strength, dangers from China and others who woul profit from our getting entangled in a Mideast War, and the perfidy of the democrats.
Your desire for a World War II type scenario is not going to happen. You were told this at the beginning...that this was a war unlike any other, that it would take a long time, that many actions would be unseen. Now you are griping because you don't understand everything happening, and you are assigning base motives to the people who are doing the heavy lifting.
One other thing..you as much as called Presidient Bush and his dad antisemitic. That is an absolute lie.
Yep, have you ?

You should have been a defense attorney for Nazi concentration camp guards.
Powell is the Secretary of State. He does what the President tells him to do.
Which is why Bush is without excuse.

It should be. I don't believe it is. He has exhibited incredible weakness and put us more at risk these last few weeks.

It seems you have forgotten that we have already been attacked and are at war. Sorry if this hurts 401ks and contracts with the House of Saud. We'll get over it.

I know, we don't have the leadership any more.

We were told alot of things about terrorism. Bush lied. He is a hypocrite, albeit an opportunistic hypocrite.

You are so tranparent and amusing. Make up your own words and then call them a lie. No debate experience under your belt or whatever you wear ?
Bush's father chose the House of Saud over the House of Jacob. His son is walking the same path. I don't want him to, but he doesn't listen to me. He listens to his father when he should listen to his Father.
Your reply is excellent! There seems to be alot of BS flying around on this subject. The fact is that some of these so called conservatives are not really conservatives at all. Some may have voted for Bush as the lesser of two evils but they won't support him or his administration.
They blindly attack Powell, Ashcroft, and Bush as if they were talking about Barney Frank or Bill Clinton with little or no thought as to what they are saying. The tell tale words, "the Constitution", seem to be somewhere in their rants.
It's nice to see some sense typed out in this forum once and a while. Thanks!
Then why doesn't he close the borders? Why has he allowed 53,000 muslims to enter this country since 911? Bush is in over his head, He doesn't know what to do or when to do it. I'll be glad when the 2004 election occurs, hopefully we will live that long.
